What does SBU mean to you?
SBU changed my life.
Tips for success during graduate school at SBU:
My master's degree is from SBU! While in graduate school, I worked full-time in a
position requiring substantial traveling. Organization and communication were key
to both. One of the main reasons I wanted to work in Graduate and Worldwide Admissions
was to have a platform like this to tell everyone about the opportunities here. SBU’s
professors designed these programs with working professionals like you and me in mind.
